Hrm.  Looks like we are in a no-win situation here.  Many international
users want COM and makepy setup to use the default locale - which it is -
so some of the names etc get localised.  However, doing this obviously
changes the behaviour of certain functions.

Im not sure what the correct answer is, but if there is a consensus from
non US versions of COM that we should specify US English, it could be
done.
